Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 4K Texture Pack 1.4.2 Update

Added 2022-04-01 16:00:01 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone! 🌋

Today marks the release of yet another update to the Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 4K texture pack! It includes lots of new textures, covering both the UI, environment and more. This update's primary focus is on Dodongo's Cavern, the second dungeon of the game. Subsequent updates will cover the rest of the dungeons as well, of course! Check out the full changelog down below!

This was posted in the previous updates' post as well, but as a reminder (or if this is your first time using Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 4K), Here are the default key bindings for using the bottom screen with your controller;

D-Pad Up: Free Cam (First Person View)
D-Pad Left: Ocarina
D-Pad Right: Item Slot 1
D-Pad Down: Item Slot 2
Select: Items Menu
Left Joystick Button: Gear
Right Joystick Button: Map

You may need to set these bindings again on your own controller in case Citra does not recognize it automatically. Simply double click the input button for each respective button and press the corresponding button on your controller and you should be good to go!

This should make the game much more enjoyable, especially if you're playing on a TV where you definitely don't want to be switching around between different controllers mid-action.

Dodongo's Cavern Complete Overhaul!

Dodongo's Cavern, the second dungeon in the game, has received a complete overhaul to nearly all of it's textures! Nearly all textures have been remade by hand in native 4K, and the dungeon looks quite stunning now in my opinion! This also covers some assets used in other locations of the game as well such as floor switches, pushable blocks and ladders and whatnot.

Death Mountain has been overhauled, as well!

Death Mountain has received a similar kind of upgrade to Dodongo's Cavern, where most of the environment textures have been replaced with new ones. This also includes things like climbable walls, flags etc.

Remade pause menu UI!

The pause menu, alongside several of it's buttons and banners, have been remade from scratch!

Tons of miscellaneous updates and changes...

Lots of less noticable things have been altered or fixed in this version, like the clouds having visible seams in the adult timeline or new more fitting textures for rocks scattered across the overworld.

The next update is going to be really big, so please look forward to that! :D

And like before; Glorious 60 FPS!

Re-post from the previous update:

This is arguably an even greater upgrade available in Zelda: Ocarina of Time 4K than any of the textures. The 60 FPS patch is a first-time feature for Ocarina of Time 3D, and makes the game display in a buttery smooth 60 frames per second instead of the usual 30. This makes the game not just nicer to look at, but also makes it more responsive and reduces input lag. However, this feature is still in beta and has a few workarounds (you need to perform some special actions in certain instances to avoid the game from softlocking, for example. Instructions and more information is provided with the download!) Since the 60 FPS mode isn't quite ready for prime time yet, it's included as an optional special version which you can use if you're feeling adventurous (and don't mind doing a little bit of manual work!) The instructions are, like stated previously, included with the download. Have fun! :]

Selecting your game region (if you're using the PAL/European or Japanese version of the game);

All you need to do now, if you're using the European version of Ocarina of Time 3D, click the "Run this if you're using the PAL (European) version of the game.bat" file inside the texture pack folder. Done! It'll now work great with your version of the game. Easy, right?

How to enable MXAO (ambient occlusion) & DoF (Depth of Field):

This means you can now experience glorious self shadowing around objects, which looks really great with OOT's fantasy art style. Try it out by doing the following:

* Set your game view to "Single" in Citra.

* Enter fullscreen in Citra.

* Press the "HOME" button on your keyboard, this will bring up the ReShade UI.

* Check the "MXAO" box in the list of effects.

* Go to the "OpenGL" tab in ReShade and check the box next to the depth buffer in the list with the highest value (it should be a very high number while all others are 0). This number will change constantly, but don't worry it's supposed to do that!

* You're done. Have fun!

Enjoy!

There is a 4K version available, if your computer can handle it. It's a large file, over 7GB so beware of that before you download it! The 1080p version is smaller in file size, but is lower resolution of course. You can download both and test which one works best for you, if you want! :)

Please feel free to try it out!

(Only available for use with the Citra 3DS emulator, the texture pack does not work on real 3DS consoles).
